Excitement
There have been quite a few exciting happenings around the Schmelzer home lately. We obviously are expecting our first baby...which is very exciting. We have also bought our first house, and are anticipating a move in a few weeks! Noah also had some exciting news from work and received a promotion! Although lots of exciting things are happening, we have been pretty low key. Bella seems quite unaware of the excitement taking place around her...
Week 16- I have been feeling much better this week, and am really starting to see a bump! Hopefully I will get to feel some movement in the next couple weeks :)

Go Cubs Go!
Last Friday, Noah was given free tickets to the I Cubs baseball game in Des Moines. We weren't aware of quite how awesome the seats were going to be...2nd row right behind home plate! It was awesome! We had a really good time even though they weren't able to pull off the comeback. We still had fireworks!

SURPRISE!!
We have some very exciting news..
I will give a few hints...
The surprise won't be here for a few months....
It gives me a wonderful excuse to eat cheetos for lunch and have Hershey kisses after every meal...
And to take naps...a lot!
And buy new clothes :)
Drum-roll Please....
We are EXPECTING a BABY!!! .....But it could be a velociraptor :) Hehe!
Expected arrival: September, 2012!
Mid January, I had a suspicions that something was going on. I just didn't feel like myself - I was incredibly tired and my stomach was a little off. I let Noah in on my suspicions, and we decided to wait a few days until the weekend to test our theory. Well, our Friday night excitement included a nervous trip to the toilet...hehe!
There were a few tears (and some holy craps) but we are very excited to start this journey.... (baby's first basketball game was the next afternoon, a Cyclone victory over Kansas!)
January 31 - I am about 6 weeks along right now and have felt fairly good. I have been tired, and a little nauseous during the day - and any time I step on a bus (thank goodness basketball is about over) but overall I feel good! Hopefully things stay this way.
February 8 - 7 weeks - Today we shared the news with our parents! Everyone is very excited :) It was a fun day!
February 15 - I am into my 8th week! Our little Raptor is about the size of a raspberry (so I'm told) And apparently he wants to make his presence known. After weeks of nausea - but that's about it - I got sick :( Then about 2 hours later, I had a bloody nose. Not a fun morning. I was at school, so I frantically conferred with google to make sure nose bleeds were "ok" during pregnancy. In the mean time, my poor little 7th graders who were sitting in class, probably thought I was loosing my mind as I was holding the tissue to my face and typing, and telling them they can talk amongst themselves for a while...hahaha!
March 13 - 12 weeks! Today we had the wonderful experience of hearing the baby's heartbeat. It was a little nerve wracking because it seemed to take the doc quite a while to locate our little monster, but eventually there it was - a quick little beating. Our doctor said it was fast, and sounded really good!! Noah brought home the baby's first gift :) No matter if we're decorating in blue or pink...they will be wearing red :)
April 1 - 15 weeks! Still feeling good. having some headaches... but they come and go. I'm starting to see a little bit of a baby bump that isn't just because I ate too much :) Take a look!

Spring Break 2012
This weekend we decided to take our annual Girls Spring Break Trip! And when its 80 degrees in Iowa in March, there's really no reason to go anywhere else :) This year we spent a few days taking in the sites of good 'ol Des Moines!
 |
| Our waterside lunch table! |
 |
| Some shoe shopping! |
 |
| St. Patrick's Day Parade! It went right in front of our hotel! |
 |
| A little girl came up and pinched mom since she wasn't wearing green. Then she found some beads :) |
 |
| Cece enjoyed the parade for a while, then decided she was done with it! Ha! |
 |
| Spaghetti Works! |
 |
| Fun in the Hotel! I'm pretty sure this was Ellie and Cece's favorite part! |
HAPPY SPRING!
